Hence both salesman and the purchaser, from opposite positions, can read the scale. v

It is a circular card and has two 0})- positely located sets of indicating numerals and graduations that are segmental in form and a line running; through the poise 21 and pivot 20 diametrically passes through the middle cf both of the sets of indications.

iions 24- represent total values or the like.

On the opposite side there is a set of graduations 25 for ounces and fractions thereof, and parallel with it a row of Weight nmn'erals 26 readable by the person standing ,at the side of the scale on which said numerals are with the poise are remote from the loadv by glass '38 fixed to the beam and moves therewith. It

has a segmental opening 32 running fromthe center to the side on which the poise is located that is closed by glass or other-transparent material 33 which is marked with an indicating line 34 radially of said plate and transversely of the beam and in the same vertical plane as the beam. Hence the indicating line 34 is fixed On the right hand side of it there is a plate per unit numerals 36 arranged to register with the rows of total value numerals on the chart below. At the opposite side of-the containing price scale there. is likewise an opening 37 closed which discloses the Weight numerals and graduations onthe chart below and has a central indicating line 134 that is in line with the other indicating line 34.

I do not wish to be limited to the details of the construction shown as the particular 1 form of the beam and the members of the indicating means may be varied, but, it is necessary that the movable member of the indicating means be pivoted either to the un- I ,der side of the beam or to the top plate 30,

and it is immaterial to which, as they are ign ted together-and in a sense constitute the earn.

A Weighing scale including a fulcrumed beam, a plurality of fixed indicators transversely vided with price per unitgraduations, and a cirenlanmovable member of the indicating means centrally pivoted on the beam so as to be oscillatory under said indicator and provided on the two opposite'sides thereof with different sets of indications adapted to cooperate with said plurality of indicators.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto affixed my signature in the presence of the witnesses herein named.
